Why Is GMC V1500 Suburban Alignment Important?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your GMC V1500 Suburban’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by GMC. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your system is aligned to the measurements that GMC specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. This gives you several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1988 GMC V1500 Suburban, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match GMC’s recommended measurements. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When Should I Get GMC V1500 Suburban Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your GMC V1500 Suburban alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 1988 GMC V1500 Suburban: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your V1500 Suburban dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
